Dear sir

i am having to write this mail with utter frustration with your technical support after 3 over the call complaints and one visit to ur office here in thakur village.
complaint nos.
1>7994703
2>7942611
3>7970620

and several calls with assurances made to fix the issue after 20 days of calling ur technician made it to my house today and apparently did something to fix my network issue.
which has not got fixed.


What my issue is ;>

All pings to europe have doubled over the last month.
Due to which many issues are being caused.
1> my voip ie. skype (stutters when talking to europeans)
2>my online game is unplayable the only reason i took hathway was for its good pings.

This is the traceroute to the server which clearly shows that at HOP 7 the path followed by u guys to tata communications server in europe 7 302 ms * 322 ms if-9-5.tcore1.WYN-Marseille.as6453.net [80.231.217.17] is not working properly.

And the biggest concern of all :>

PACKET LOSS ( which ur technicians claim is related to speed asking me to upgrade to a 2mbps plan to fix it)

Packet loss occurs when one or more packets of data travelling across a computer network fail to reach their destination. Packet loss is distinguished as one of the three main error types encountered in digital communications; the other two being bit error and spurious packets caused due to noise.

Causes

Packet loss can be caused by a number of factors including signal degradation over the network medium due to multi-path fading, packet drop because of channel congestion,[1][2] corrupted packets rejected in-transit, faulty networking hardware, faulty network drivers or normal routing routines (such as DSR in ad-hoc networks [3]).


this is from wikipedia as u can see it has nothing to do with speed.

this is hw much packet loss i am getting 6%.(due to which my ingame experience as well as voice communication is hindered.)

THE problem ;>
TRAI (Telecom Regulatory Authority of India) clearly states that isps need to provide less than 1% packet loss or else they face a fine of 1lakh
for proof of this kindly read the last page of the attached trai regulations pdf.

I wish to recieve a reply to this mail with a solution.

This mail was sent to them after wasting 200rs of talktime talkin to thier technical support. when i send this mail all i get is.

I live in borivali not far away from you. I had hathway few years back and I was facing the same issue. Hathway technicians refused to acknowledge the problem and said everything was fine with the connection. They even kept sending bills for 6 months after I had disconnected my connection. I had to clear the dues because they threatened me.

I would advise you to ditch hathway and go for mtnl/airtel and tell others in you area to do the same. These hathway people are nothing but bunch of cheating thugs.
